Camille asked Portia Da Costa:

Is there any chance of having another novel dedicated to Marie and Mr. Stone? They're my favorite couple and I can't get enough of them. I know that you've included them in other stories -- thank you for that -- but I'd love to know more about them. Do they ever marry? Children? Join a club? Just hearing more about their escapades would be a treat!

Portia Da Costa Hi Camille!

Thanks for your question. I've no plans at the moment to write another Stone and Maria novel, but I never say never so who knows what might happen in the future.

Have you read the short stories in which they appear? "Are We There Yet?", "Duet for Three" and "This Very Boutique"? These stories are all included in my The Red Collection anthology, along with a lot of other stories and novellas.

I've never thought about them having children, but I guess somewhere down the line they might. In my mind they definitely get married and one of the above mentioned stories is about their engagement.

Thanks again for your interest in my writing and my characters.

All the best

Portia
